The Blood Curse at Hogwarts

After hearing this, the three of them remembered the rumors that Chen Bin had left at the outdoor barbecue, and when they saw him suddenly reaching for his wand with a serious look on his face, they immediately bowed their heads to eat obediently.

However, their eyes also glanced at the big snake that was originally coiled into a sphere, intentionally or unintentionally, because it disappeared, as if it was when Chen Bin first entered the kitchen.

As Chen Bin expected, Harry was isolated by his classmates again the next day. This time, Moxxi in the dormitory was also afraid of him and even asked Professor McGonagall to transfer him to another dormitory.

Of course, Professor McGonagall didn't approve.

As a result, Harry broke out and had a quarrel with Moxxi, and almost got into a fight. Fortunately, Ron separated them.

Chen Bin saw Harry's face was darker than the bottom of the pot at dinner, so he took the initiative to find him at the Transfiguration Study Club in the evening.

Ron and Hermione followed Harry and sat on the bench in the passage. They told Harry about Moxxi before he could speak.

Chen Bin thought for a while, it seems that this did not happen in the original work, maybe it was too trivial and he did not write it down.

"Bin, do basilisks really attack targets based on their bloodline?" Harry asked nervously.

"I don't know either." Chen Bin didn't intend to spoil the story, but he still explained: "I don't think Peeves and Nick were born in Muggle families, and what is the bloodline of Mrs. Lorris's cat?"

The three of them were startled when they heard this, and then the atmosphere obviously relaxed a lot.

Hermione shouted angrily: "Pure bloods, the entire magical society is also controlled by pure bloods, what dissatisfaction do they have, do they want to kill all wizards of Muggle origin? Without us, who else can they rule among the pure bloods?" Divide classes again?”

"Don't say it so harshly about purebloods ruling society, okay?" Ron immediately said dissatisfied: "My family is so poor, and we are also a pureblood family. My father is also ordered by half-blood and Muggle-blood wizards at work. How can you be there?" It’s so scary to say”

Harry whispered: "Ron, this is not something worth publicizing. Can you save Mr. Weasley some face?"

"Your family is a special case. You were suppressed because your family was too close to Muggles." Hermione obviously had no intention of calming down. She spat out like a machine gun: "I checked the information specially this year and found out that the Ministry of Magic has been lacking for a long time. Money requires funding from a pure-blood family, but in exchange for political rights. This is basically a conspiracy of pure-bloods. Their accounting methods are very backward. They make a lot from trade and rent, but only need to pay very little tax. The Ministry of Magic's finances are insufficient, so they exchange money for power. Especially when the plan to prohibit any tax increases was passed, the Ministry of Magic will always have to exchange power with them for financial subsidies. This is unhealthy and very immoral."

"Is that so?" Ron didn't quite understand and turned to look at Chen Bin.

"Is it really about exchanging money for power?" Harry cast a dark eye on the wizarding world and turned his head in the direction of Chen Bin.

Chen Bin didn't understand why the three of them suddenly switched from school monsters to talking about social systems, but it didn't matter if he talked to them about this knowledge in advance.

"This is a very complicated question. Ron, Harry, have you heard about capitalism and gcism?" Chen Bin asked them this question as soon as he came, but saw them shaking their heads blankly. Only Hermione nodded. explain.

"Hermione, I know you must know it, but coming from the British Muggle society, you must have a lot of prejudices." Chen Bin did not let her continue and continued to ask: "Don't answer yet, have you heard of it yet? Slave society, feudalism, nationalism, nationalism, ultra-nationalism, populism and fxsism”

This time, Hermione also showed a blank expression, which was exactly the effect Chen Bin wanted.She must have heard of these proper terms, but they would only be briefly introduced in the Muggle third grade course at the earliest.At least, in Chen Bin's perception, the middle school curricula in the UK and Hong Kong are almost exactly the same.He only started to learn this knowledge in the third year of junior high school in his previous life, so now Hermione has almost never learned any relevant content.

"Hermione, I have said that no society will be fair. At most, it can only guarantee the most basic fair opportunities." Chen Bin then looked at Harry and Ron and said flatly: "Therefore, it cannot be described as a transaction of power and money alone. Magical world. Did you know that in ancient Greece, only free people had the right to vote, and only in cities? Modern Muggle society originally had this right only after meeting tax requirements, and it was only limited to male voters. Until after World War II, society Only then did a voice emerge, believing that people across the country also contribute money and effort, and should have this right regardless of gender or income."

"I know, isn't this an improvement?" Hermione's eyes flashed with challenge, clearly understanding that Chen Bin's position was completely different from his.

"Okay, then let me ask you, in such a progressive modern society, can children from low-income families enroll in Eton College and Royal Academy of Westminster?"

Hermione's momentum faltered when she heard this, and he hesitated: "As long as they have excellent grades, they can get a full scholarship."

Chen Bin smiled, as long as he has excellent grades59书库.59shuku.

"So, is it fair that students with slightly lower grades can attend such aristocratic schools as long as their families can afford it?"

"Other schools also have scholarships, why do you have to focus on these two schools?" Hermione said dissatisfied.

Harry and Ron were confused the whole time, obviously not knowing what they were discussing.

Even though Harry grew up in a Muggle family, he had no idea about public and private schools. Even his uncle originally wanted to send him to Stonewall School, a public school with a very poor reputation.

Chen Bin narrowed his eyes at Hermione and asked with a smile: "There are jobs in other institutions, so why do you have to focus on the Ministry of Magic?"

Hermione was speechless. Every time Chen Bin squinted his eyes, he would dig a hole for her to jump into.

"It's not the same," Hermione defended in a low voice: "Any school can also cultivate talents, but the positions and decrees of the Ministry of Magic will affect the entire society."

"Going to a prestigious school, its atmosphere and educational quality can guarantee high results. On average, 6090 students can obtain A-level or above in A-level, and the proportion of students admitted to Oxford and Cambridge is more than 20. That is to say , as long as you don’t commit suicide, you will almost certainly be able to enter a prestigious university if you enter a private school of this level, but it may not necessarily be the two world-class universities. More importantly, the connections you make in these schools are the only way to climb up. the main boost.”

Chen Bin paused and continued: "I haven't heard of any high-level political and economic leaders, or even the Prime Minister, who are not from aristocratic schools. This is the only ladder for upward mobility. Is it really not important? If it is not important, then why Do you think the power and money transactions in the Ministry of Magic are important? It is also the only ladder for wealthy nobles to move upward."

Hermione was petrified. She felt that Chen Bin's words made sense, but seemed to be completely unreasonable.Chen Bin has 36 years of experience in his previous life and has searched for education systems in various English-speaking countries before his children were born.No matter how evil Hermione is, she is still a 13-year-old girl, and she has not yet entered the era of universal Internet, so how can she fight with Chen Bin?

"I won't tease you anymore." Chen Bin saw that the little Loli was so aggrieved that she was about to cry, and explained: "I know that you think there is an essential difference between the magical world and Muggle society, but you can't tell where the root is. This involves the doctrines I just mentioned. In short, the class structure in the magic world is solidified, preventing ordinary people from upward mobility. Even if they become ministers, political orders and finances are still constrained by pure-blood nobles."

Hermione thought for a moment and nodded in admission.Harry and Ron were confused the whole time, and instinctively nodded along with Hermione.As long as you follow her, you'll be right.

Chen Bin quickly introduced several modern doctrines and then applied them to the current magical world.

First of all, there are still slaves in the wizarding world, namely house elves.Then, the people were divided into aristocrats and civilians. The classes were very distinct and they were in a feudal state.Then, there is no vote here, but an oligarchy. Whoever pays can influence the Ministry of Magic. The rule of law can only maintain a very superficial level of fairness, and even in extraordinary times, the rule of law is not implemented at all. For example, Sirius was imprisoned for life without trial.

To put it more bluntly, money in the magical world does not mean everything, and many things cannot be bought with money. It requires a combination of strength, fame, family status and money to buy them.

For example, under normal circumstances, no matter how wealthy the wizard businessman is, he cannot buy an heirloom-level noble item, and he will not sell it even if the noble breaks it.

Except for Grindelwald in the 40s and Voldemort in the 70s, there has been no war in the wizarding world for more than 300 years, and these two demon kings were dealt with before they could do much damage.Therefore, after generations of accumulation in each family, the gap between rich and poor becomes more serious, and the class is seriously solidified.

What’s wrong with class solidification?

In British Muggle society, there are upper class people, such as lords, gentry, and capitalists. As for those professionals, doctors, lawyers, accountants, etc., unless they open their own firms and make them nationally famous, they will only be middle class.

This is a solidified class. No matter how outstanding people are, the invisible ceiling they can reach is the middle class through their own efforts alone, and the ladder to the next level is almost closed.

The solidification of classes in Italy is even more terrifying. In addition to joining forces with emerging local capitalists, the aristocrats of the old era also married into foreign aristocrats and capitalists.The wealth that China calls only three generations has not appeared in this country. The monopolistic aristocratic alliance that has been passed down for five generations has blocked the ladder for ordinary people to climb up.

The class solidification in the magic world is even more extreme. There are many families with hundreds or thousands of years of inheritance. There are also legal enslavement of intelligent species, domestication of ferocious magical animals such as fire dragons in designated places or abroad, monopoly shops and handicrafts. There is no industry or behind-the-scenes in the magic world. Manipulate Ministry of Magic positions and government orders, etc.

Basically, no matter how poor the descendants of aristocrats are, they are still aristocrats; the descendants of intermarrying with Muggles are still commoners, no matter how outstanding they are.

So, there are many reasons why wizards do not have a bottom-up revolution. The main reason is that the poorest people will not go hungry. There are also other reasons such as: aristocrats are the force that stabilizes the magic world, and aristocrats and commoners are just unofficial folk names. The nobility provided a lot of jobs and so on.

Another more important reason is that this system can effectively prevent Muggle invasion.The overall Muggle economy is overwhelming the wizarding world, but can they buy magic items?
